Yes. Zapier App Connector is designed for no-code or low-code integrations. You can connect via OAuth-like authentication and use pre-mapped actions and triggers to manage posts, authors, and categories. No custom code is required for typical flows.
Use standard OAuth or API key methods to authenticate between GHL and Zapier. Store credentials securely in a vault, rotate keys regularly, and limit scopes to the minimal needed permissions for safety.
Typical basics include creating a post (POST /blogs/posts), updating a post (PUT /blogs/posts/:postId), and slug validation (GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists). These endpoints provide the foundation for publishing automation.
Slug checks are performed against the GET /blogs/posts/url-slug-exists endpoint. You can verify uniqueness before publishing to avoid duplicate content. It’s best practice to perform the check as part of your workflow.
Yes. You can pull in author and category metadata by querying GET /blogs/authors and GET /blogs/categories, then map them to posts when publishing or updating content.
Notifications can be customized in Zapier or via your Blog post templates. You can trigger emails or in-app alerts when a post is published or updated.
